| - Of the thirteen episodes, only six were shown before the series was cancelled. The remaining seven episodes were chopped up into segments as part of The Cat and Birdy Warneroonie Pinky Brainy Big Cartoonie Show (or The Big Cartoonie Show for short) with segments from other Warner Bros. cartoons (including Tiny Toons). The only clear connection between this series and Tiny Toon Adventures is the character of Elmyra Duff. While she essentially has the same personality as her Tiny Toon counterpart and lives in Acme Acres, her character is different from that on Tiny Toon Adventures in various ways. She goes to a normal school with other human kids rather than her Tiny Toons co-stars, and harbors an unrequited crush on Rudy Mookich rather than Montana Max (though like Montana Max, Rudy does not return her affections). Her pets are also different than those on Tiny Toon Adventures; in this case, a cat named "Mr. Pussy-Wussy" and a turtle named "Mr. Shellbutt" (the same turtle that Pinky and the Brain hide in while looking for a new laboratory) rather than Furrball and Byron Basset. Like the other characters from Tiny Toon Adventures, Elmyra's family (consisting of her mother, father, older sister, two younger brothers, and grandmother, previously seen in the episodes, Take Elmyra Please and Grandma's Dead), were also excluded from the series. The show's theme song is set to the same tune as the Pinky and the Brain theme song, but with different lyrics explaining how Pinky and the Brain ended up with Elmyra after the destruction of their lab in the last episode of Pinky and the Brain. The lyrics to the theme song can be seen in the section below.
